About

Bowling AlleyBarRestaurantEvent VenueVideo Arcade
Garden Center Lanes, Fat Daddy's Bar & Grill, and Broadway Ballroom Event Center opened in August 2005. Our three businesses share the same roof and ownership. We are a third-generation, family-run business. Over the years, we have expanded to a bigger and better facility, which houses Garden Center Lanes, Fat Daddy's Bar & Grill, and Broadway Ballroom Event Center. Our bar and grill can seat 200+ people, we have 34 lanes of bowling, an arcade, a pro shop, and a banquet center with the capacity to seat 500 guests. We take pride in our business and look forward to providing a great banquet and catering facility, bowling alley, and bar & grill to the Alexandria Lakes Area!
